after i upgraded to nordic 2.1 and flashed,i restored all my contacts from sd card and i saw them (it was before i istalled hebrew (Via IsraelPack) fonts so i saw them in gebrish [][])
then i restored via titanium backup "restore all apps with data".
after that i rebooted my phone to see hebrew but when it terned on, i could no longer see my contacts.
i tried to import them again from sd /memory card but failed (it shows that its loading but its just stucked)
although when i try to enter to sms, i cant see anything (the it says that its not responding -wait/force close)
i hope that i will have no further problems thats all i saw from now
please help me guys im stuck!
(my guess is that its because of the titanium or something but idk..)
Did you restore system apps/settings from 1.6?
This could cause some problems.
i think it did it because i did full aplications and data restore, so i guess..
any solution?
thx alot for the help
used factory reset =\

Hi All,
What is the software that cause this error to happen? Is it the Backup and Restore software from Sony Ericsson?
If you are using the B&R software from SE, there is a mini text underneath the selection which states that Contacts Synced using Sync services will not be backed up. In other words, Google, Sony Ericsson Sync and etc will not be backed up.
I restored my Contacts successfully. Here what I done
1) Reset to factory default
2) After the phone restarts I did not do any setup. I skipped all including email and contact setup.
3) Left the phone idle for 30 mins so things could settle.
4) Went to Backup and Restore and selected only Contacts and call log (No messaging or other Stuff)
5) Done. After 99% it says it done but my contacts got restored.
how did u reset it to defaults?
Setting -> Privacy settings -> Factory data reset.
Thanks. It worked for me too. I didn't wait but restarted immediately.
Hey, after i updated to 2.1 i attempted to restore alla my data I had previously saved with the built in SE Backup and restore. When I open my contactbook no contacts appear, if I click on Favorites though there are 6 contacs as it should be. If i go in to the message app all my messages are still there, with contact names and numbers displayed, even though my contactbook shows no contacts?? Sort of like the contacts are there but won't display...
Also no applications were saved =(
Did this happen to anyone else? Anyone got a fix?
Thanks in advance
Hey !! i believe that you must have used the old version of backup and restore !!
SE has released a new version of backup and restore, with backing up market application and stuff !!
well.. this info may not be of any use to u know as u are already in 2.1..
But as for me, who is still in 1.6, I downloaded the new backup and restore and installed in 1.6 it has got market backup, etc...
may be to all those who are going to update to 2.1 by using the flash method from XDA must use this to backup ...

And it is always nice and better to restart from ur phone once u finished the backup !! hehe just my advice !!!

You'll have have to reflash, if you hadn't backed up your contacts then you'll have to save goodbye to them, but nothing on your SD is affected when you reflash.
Hi I searched a long time and I couldn't find any thread with my problems ..
So here's the thing .. First of all I had a rooted 2.1 with JIT enabled ..
And I decided to go for the rom FreeX10 Beta 4 ..
So what I did was to install busybox and xRecovery and I made the backup via xRecovery .. When I installed the new rom I couldn't restore the data from the previous (2.1) because it said something about MD5 mismatch ..
Strangely my contacts were back in some way I don't know how, but all other stuff was gone .. So I installed everything again and I was fine with it ..
But then I started to get these messages with force closing a lot after rebooting the phone. And at last I couldn't even make a call because I couldn't get into the phone book.
So I read something in a thread about reflashing with SEUS to the latest 2.1 firmware and kernel before installing FreeX10 Beta 4 rom.
I wanted to save the trouble of installing everything again so I did a backup via xRecovery (now with the FreeX10 rom) and did everything all over again ..
Now with the installed FreeX10 rom I went into xRecovery and did an advanced backup (only restore data). When I reboot the phone I have no contacts whatsoever ..
So my questions are .. Should I do a full restore since it's a backup from FreeX10 rom? Is it possible to restore data from previous rom (ex. 2.1) into the new rom? And if I do the full restore, will I get the force close messages again?
**EDIT** Crap .. I flashed in the new market and when I try to open the app it force closes .. great!
Thanks if you're kind enough to read and reply!
My experience with custom ROMs is that if you start to get force closes and mysterious crashes, that the first thing to consider is the data. By that, I mean data that each app stores.
The first thing you can try is to go into Settings > Applications > Manage applications and clear cache and/or data for any "suspect" apps. For Market problems, clear the cache and uninstall updates. Reboot.
If that doesn't work, then it's best to reflash, but DON'T do an advanced restore on your data. It's important to know that when you flash, nothing on your SD card is affected. In order to make things easier, there are ways to back up and restore your stuff with your SD card without restoring any corrupt data:
- Backup apps with Titanium Backup (TB). When you restore them, select "App only" so that data is not restored.
- DON'T restore data for system apps (green or red apps) with TB. This includes call log, sms messages, etc.
- To backup your call log to your SD card, get "Call Log Backup & Restore" by Ritesh Sahu. It's free.
- To backup SMS messages to your SD card, get "SMS Backup & Restore" by Ritesh Sahu. It's free.
- To backup APN settings to your SD card, get "APN Backup & Restore" by Ritesh Sahu. It's free.
- Alternately, I think you can use "MyBackup Root" by Rerware. I haven't used this, but I've used MyBackup (trial) before, so I'm not positive. The root version is free (but the pro version costs money).
- To backup your contacts to your SD card, you can go into your Phonebook, press Menu, and select "Back up contacts". This will save them in a .vcf file, which can be used by custom ROMs and by the stock ROM.
You can also sync your contacts using Google sync (or SE Sync). This is probably how you got your contacts back automatically. I like this method because you get your contacts back right after you sync for the first time, and you can log into GMail (I use my PC) to edit your contacts. There's a useful option called "Find & merge duplicates".
Also, you shouldn't restore data if you're moving between Android versions (e.g. Eclair 2.1 -> Froyo 2.2). It may even be a bad idea to restore data going between different ROMs on the same Android version (e.g. FreeX10 beta 4 -> CM6.1.3). That's because the user apps (not the system apps) are stored in the data partition, and you'll lose anything that's been customized for that particular ROM. It may or may not work.
Thank you for the help I should keep that in mind in the future ..
But I think I found my problem .. After a while I did a reflash doing everything EXCEPT for data2sd. And it worked fine ..
Just now I tried to flash data2sd in and that's when the force close happens on market .. I have tried to clear the cache and the data for the Market application .. Doesn't work still ..
**EDIT** And also on top of that .. All my apps disappeared when I flashed data2sd
I solved it somehow ..
Reflashed the whole thing in the "right order" ..
First the rom, then google apps, then data2sd .. and the rest after that and it worked somehow ..
Nooow the only problem is when I'm downloading new apps or restoring the old apps I had backup on via Titanium ... I don't get the offer if I want to move the app to the SD card anymore ..
Can it be fixed?
Thanks
Hey there.
I had Lite'ning Rom 1.4 installed and decided to switch to VillainROM.
I did a full backup with Titanium Backup of all my user data and apps.
I did another backup in CMW, both successfully stored on the internal SD card.
I flashed VillainROM incl the tweaks, correct Kernel etc.
Now when I load Titanium Backup and want to restore my userdata like contacts, messages etc it does say it successfully restored the data but nothing is showing up, the contact list is still empty. So are the messages etc.
Since the Samsung stock apps are touched by VillainROM, is it possible the signatures are messed up or something?
I'm really a bit shocked I cannot seem to import the data, hopefully I'm just dumb and the data ain't lost
Please tell me that's the case...
Cheers for ANY advice on how to get my data back.
Okay, turns out I'm dumb.
A simply reboot did the trick, doh! It should say that somewhere...
Nevermind me, I will go into my corner and be ashamed of myself
